After the hard 2010’s summer which provided a high number of florestal fires that have destroyed a lot of forest from north to south of Portugal, we thought of doing something symbolic and give back to nature what the fire had destroyed.

We spent much time wondering what we could do. Then, we had the idea to combine a geocaching day with a tree planting event and, at the same time, “build” a space dedicated to all the Geocachers as a tribute with Mother Nature.

We organized and accomplished this event as "Vem plantar uma árvore" on October, 16 2010. With the support of the Câmara Municipal de Vila Real, which gave us the trees and the Junta de Freguesia de Vila Cova who gave us the spot (our thanks to them), we planted 50 oaks on a journey full of good humor and fellowship where all the people did not haggled efforts to carry out such an arduous, but at the same time, rewarding task. Today there are 50 small trees. Tomorrow will be the delight of those who pass here, Geocacher or not.

In the end, was revealed a stone referring to the event which will perpetuate, we hope so, this special day.

To all who attended this event, our thanks. For all Geocachers that will pass through here, there is this cache so you can share your thoughts.
